When will be one plus 6t phone available in Kuwait.
Give Date of arrival.

    That really is an extremely elegant piece of production engineering. There are plenty of phones that are an awful lot worse. Especially the easy battery replacement.

      maybe in the future they can use inovation to hide the front camera and make a no-notch phone. Sounds intereting if they will pull this off earlier.

        Even though the article "justifies" the lack of 3.5mm jack argument, it still is not an excuse to not have a 3.5mm jack on OnePlus 6T as STANDARD.

          For 2 days this stupid FP reader wouldn't work.
          And then on the third a solution came.
          It turns out you have to put your finger slightly below the center of the green comet. Now it works half the time.

            "Jerry even turns on the phone without the scanner so we can see the AMOLED screen in action but the result was mildly disappointing as the small LEDs on the panel shine only in one direction".

            No, it's not disappointing, it's good because an under display camera would not see the pixels therefore not shooting them.

              Anonymous, 08 Nov 2018Correct me if I mistaken but the FP scanner is under the sc... moreIt's OLED display, not an LCD. Pretty transparent because has only thin layer of OLED and doesn't have any backlite or screen shield. So you can put an fp sensor like that.

                      Correct me if I mistaken but the FP scanner is under the screen but on top of the display is it not? Or put another way even when the screen is unlocked the area where the FP scanner is cannot be used for any other purpose? So is it really under the display? I would suggest it is not as I understand it. Feel free to correct me. If I am correct then I woudla ctually rather the FP scanner was somewhere else as it frees up lost screen space. It might look nice but ultimately is pretty pointless if it means losing that area of the screen.
